The TTC was able to accelerate and complete critical work last year during three extended subway closures. Crews were able to complete asbestos removal, tunnel lining repairs and electrical upgrades. Accelerating this work during a period of reduced ridership has spared our customers between 75 and 100-weekend closures over the next few years.
